Subtract curves making layers disappear (Photo)

[Dodgyb2001]

Hiya,

So I created a H and e letters, converted them to curves and placed the e over the H. When I go to Layer>Geometry>Subtract with both layers selected, the layers just disappear. Trying it on two boxes worked as expected. Is this a bug?

Hi @Dodgyb2001

Could you send over a copy of this file so we can investigate?

I can send a private upload link if needed

Hi Em,

While I try to remember which file I was working on, here's a file where I tried to subtract the e from the T, and Af Photo does nothing. If I move the e over to the s, and subtract the s, that works, but e from T does nothing. Maybe to do with 2 curves in the e?

Here's a file that shows what I mean. Select the "H" and the "e" and choose Subtract from the Layers menu, and the two layers disappear.

A bug in that the fill colour disappears, gets replaced with the 'clear' no fill colour.
